14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 11 is supposed to provide a modern experience from one to another, and given the operating system is projected to launch next week, what you get right now in the testing builds is nearly the same as the feature lineup coming to production devices in a few days.
And if you’ve been keeping an eye on the development of Windows 11, you probably know already that the volume sliders currently available in the operating system haven’t necessarily received the makeover users hoped they would get.
But just like Windows 10, Windows 11 will continue to improve gradually even after the official October 5 launch, and the volume sliders too will get a massive improvement.
This is according to developer Ahmed Walid, who discovered back in June that Microsoft (which has recently confirmed) is already experimenting with a new design for the volume controllers that includes modern design elements, including the rounded corners.
When exactly Microsoft is supposed to release them to users is still unclear, but most likely, they will be part of a future update that would arrive in the coming months.
Windows 11 rollout starting next week
Windows 11 will land on the very first devices in the production channel as soon as the next week, with the rollout to then continue until the summer of 2022.
“The upgrade will then roll out over time to in-market devices based on intelligence models that consider hardware eligibility, reliability metrics, age of device and other factors that impact the upgrade experience. We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022,” Microsoft explains.
Windows 11 won’t be available for all Windows 10 devices, as Microsoft has updated the system requirements, therefore shipping the new operating system only to devices coming with an eight-generation processor or newer.
